The property is very spacious, comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The location is great, and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the large conservatory where there are lovely views over the surrounding fields. The owner stopped by after a few days just to check we were happy with everything, and had been kind enough to leave a welcome pack of milk and delicious Welsh cakes for our arrival. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Itâs in a lovely quiet location but only a very short drive from Cardigan with its shops and supermarkets, as well as being within 15 or 20 minutes of some stunning beaches. Iâd rate Garth 10/10.

We were left a very generous welcome pack which was very much appreciated,the Welsh cakes were delicious. Property was spotlessly clean too which was great.It is on a busy A road so there was some traffic noise but that wouldn't stop us from booking again.All in all a fab week spent with precious family members.

Would certainly recommend it. Plenty of space, very comfortable beds, beautiful views from conservatory, fire in living room and dining room {so not always need to put heating on}. Only downfall of holiday was the weather, but plenty of little bays and village to see by car. All in all we all enjoyed our stay at Garth. Thankyou to the owners for a brilliant job.
